There is no timer, which would be nice to keep from "over-cooking" the coffee after a little while. It's nice that we were able to find a red coffee maker again, which was the biggest attraction. The coffee maker is okay, but nothing spectacular. It was also quite disappointing that the water filter is not included with this product. The functions are very basic; there are no frills with this machine. It heats the water, runs it through the grounds, and keeps the coffee hot. The model/machine is really just the very basic. The red is a little more dull that the photo, too.
I wanted a red coffemaker and that is why I chose this one. But, it also is well-made and very sturdy. It just looks good in my kitchen.
Easy to program and understand instructions. I have always found Hamilton Beach to be great at making coffee makers. This is my third one in over 20 years.
There are cheaper coffeemakers that are just as high in quality,but if color is important or modern design it's worth the extra. My saister was,and is several months later,thrilled with it. and is several months later
I am impressed with this Hamilton Beach product and recommend it. I purchased this coffeemaker five years ago and it is still doing great. Just a note, though, It is very tall, so it must sit in an open space in order for the water to be poured in. I bought another one less than a year later for my son and daughter-in-law who has a red kitchen; they love theirs also. For a 1-year warranty, this wonderful coffee pot has been a great investment. Will not be very functional sitting directly under standard height cubbards. When my current one finally gives out, I plan to buy another one from Amazon(hopefully the red).
